Publisher's summary

Forced to run for her life, Kit FitzGilbert finds herself in the very place she swore never to return to - a London ballroom. There she encounters Graham, Lord Wharton, who believes Kit holds the key to a mystery he's trying to solve. As much as she wishes that she could tell him everything, she can't reveal the truth without endangering those she loves.

When Katherine "Kit" FitzGilbert turned her back on London society more than a decade ago, she determined never to set foot in a ballroom again. But when business takes her to London and she's forced to run for her life, she stumbles upon not only a glamorous ballroom but also Graham, Lord Wharton. What should have been a chance encounter becomes much more as Graham embarks on a search for his friend's missing sister and is convinced Kit knows more about the girl than she's telling.

After meeting Graham, Kit finds herself wishing things could have been different for the first time in her life, but what she wants can't matter. Long ago, she dedicated herself to helping women escape the same scorn that drove her from London and raising the innocent children caught in the crossfire. And as much as she desperately wishes to tell Graham everything, revealing the truth isn't worth putting him and everyone she loves in danger.

Well-crafted

I enjoyed the story and character development; the plot was novel and had great twists! I did get the moral and spiritual side, tho, without the author`s emphasis. I recommend the book!

Magnificent Work of Art!

This is a beautiful story of friendship, forgiveness, trust and mercy. It tells of a family, not bound together by blood, but by love. The narration is superb and heartfelt. I loved everything about it! Kristi Ann Hunter has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I appreciate so much how she makes her stories full of romance, mystery and excitement without any of the garbage (language, sex scenes, etc...) THIS ONE IS A HOME RUN!!!

One of the Best

In Defense of Honor Kristi Ann Hunter creates such an excellent crime that the reader forgets it is still a crime. Reparations must be made. Redemption is needed. Plots like this one make Hunter one of the best Christian Romance authors of our times. Her books entertain, inform and inspire. Her characters delight and find a place in you heart.

Delightful story and narration

I love stories that show adversity and overcoming such. This book has charming characters - the children! - and I engrossing situations. And, beautifully narrated.

A different story line for a nice change

I was pleasantly surprised. This was a nice change from the typical story lines for that era. I enjoyed the believable characters, and their struggles with emotions, fears, etc.

Great book and powerful message

I didn’t expect to love this book, but it’s difficult not to. It could change your outlook on life and bring meaning to it, if you let it.
Unexpected ending, but surprisingly enjoyable.

1 3/4 of the way in it becomes 85%

3/4th of the way in it becomes 85% about praying on God its wonderful. you never find out who owns the home.

also this is the book the happens after every noble man says or tells the women to contact him if anything comes of their union. This is the book when the monthly don't come. all I have to say. I can't believe people ever blamed the children.

Refreshing storyline and author!

I loved the storyline as it brought incite into the real lives and issues of the debutante.

So good!

I did not want to stop listening to this book! The story was captivating! I never read books twice but this one I could even listen to again.

Real life

This one makes think about how much things have changed and how they have remained the same at the same time. God’s Grace is always the difference.
THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET! I enjoyed it immensely.
